Description

There is no option available in windows 10 to turn off automatic windows updates like other windows had & this is a headache for people with slow connections or people who don’t have a high end PC. This feature have been a headache for me too, as it installed all updates in the background & i wasn’t even aware. Because it installs them in background without even asking for permissions, it slows down the system speed as well as the internet connection. Today i came up with a way for you guys to get the rid of the automatic update process & help you disable it. Just follow the guide given below to disable the windows updates.

Instructions

Method #1 (Only if you’re connected to a wireless connection)

First of all, click on the network icon from Taskbar & then click on “Network settings” [See Image]

The above two methods works on most computers running windows 10 & you can prevent it from installing updates automatically, so you won’t have your system speed or internet connection slowed down by the download & installation of the updates. Please do let me know in comments below if you have any issues or queries regarding updates 🙂
